Q

Name the 6 ways we can conserve tooth structure

A
  1. Partial coverage rather than complete coverage
  2. Prep of teeth with minimum practical convergence angle (taper) btwn axial walls
  3. Prep occlusal surface so reduction follows anatomical planes (gives uniform thickness to restoration)
  4. Prep axial surfaces so tooth structure is removed evenly
  5. Select conservative margin compatible with other principles of tooth prep
  6. Avoid unnecessary apical extension
